Pet Traits

Pet Traits

All high-maintenance pets are comprised of up to three traits. Unlike human Sims, pets usually do not have the full three. Also unlike human Sims, traits are dynamic and can be changed with enough training. For example, if a pet has the Piggy trait, you can remove it (or even replace it with the Neat trait) with enough training. Check the Pet Basics & Care section for more information.

Pet traits dictate more about what they do and how they act, rather than any sort of bonuses or penalties with how they act. This realistic of course; humans are far more complex than dogs, cats, and horses.

Some traits are dependent on species, which will be listed as appropriate. Assume the trait applies to all species unless otherwise noted.
